Flyte are a band who wear their hearts on the sleeves. Every little aspect from the music video’s to the press shots to the music itself is precious, honest and heartwarmingly timeless. These Londoners are big on harmonies and drench themselves in feeling.

LISTEN: Klangstof – ‘Amansworld’
James Brown preached that it’s ‘A man’s world’, Klangstof echoes this sentiment in the titular track of his latest double release. But ‘Amansworld’ is far removed from the tortured soul of Brown‘s classic. Klangstof rather captivates on a whole different level with darkly painted vocals, hypnotizing electronics and dynamic progressions.
TRACK OF THE DAY: NGOD – ‘Blue’
Appearing from out of the depths of Yorkshire is a promising young band named NGOD. The quintet hail from Bradford, and are primed and ready to make a name for themselves outside of their hometown. New single ‘Blue’ is a feel good, supercharged bolt of alt-rock that is no less indebted to its addictive charms […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Labradoor – ‘Silence’
Brace yourselves, summer is coming. And with it, the tropical indie bliss of Labradoor’s latest release ‘Silence’.
LISTEN: Johnny Kills – ‘Take It Easy’
You’d have thought a minute and 30 seconds wasn’t enough time to write a fully formed song, but as The White Stripes, The Hives, and now Johnny Kills have proven, that’s time-a-plentiful.

In Conversation with… INDOOR PETS
It feels like Indoor Pets are on the cusp of great success, the Sittingbourne fun merchants are motoring at a great neck speed. From touring with the hottest new kids on the block, VANT to scoring a highly prized opening slot for those garage rock marauders, Spring King. It’s been a hectic 2016 for Indoor […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Billie Marten – ‘Milk & Honey’
It’s always a good day when we receive new music from Yorkshire teenager, Billie Marten and this time is no exception. While the title of her new single may suggest a raiding of the kitchen’s larder, here we find Marten overturning much deeper thoughts than ever before. ‘Milk & Honey’, as she explains is “a song about […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Sara Hartman – ‘Satellite’
Pop has a new rising star and her name is Sara Hartman. She’s already toured with powerhouse Ellie Goulding and is soon to be joining X Ambassadors on their US tour, this May. But first she brings us her brightest pop constellation to date and the title track of her debut EP – ‘Satellite’.
LISTEN: SKATERS – ‘The Loner’
Never before has isolation and loneliness sounded so life affirming than on ‘The Loner’, the new cut from Boston/LA/Hull (putting it on the map!) band SKATERS, taken from the band’s forthcoming EP ‘Rock and Roll Bye’. With an opening guitar jab that sounds ominously like the lead into a Wombats esque indie-pop jaunt, this proves a […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: FAIRCHILD – ‘Neighbourhoods’
The Aussies with a love for 80’s new wave are back. FAIRCHILD return with a new neon-blaring gem that is set to excite the long summer night’s that await us. The track is ‘Neighbourhoods’, and it teases to a mind that is beseeched with lust for one that should probably be left alone. But like most […]
On Tour With October Drift (Part 1)
Somerset noise-makers October Drift have been flying the flag high for independent bands since they formed, be it their relentless commitment to their craft and solid work ethic, it’s hard to not find their passion admirable.

TRACK OF THE DAY: ISLAND – ‘Spotless Mind’
ISLAND were our favourite new band to appear out of 2015, the Londoners have now returned with the first single of a double release. ‘Spotless Mind’ see’s the band find composure in pensive thought, questioning and pondering the ‘what if’s’.
TRACK OF THE DAY: LYRA – ‘Rabbit In The Headlights’
Little is known about the mysterious bride in the photo. Was she abandoned at the alter? Maybe. Has she run away from her wedding? Possibly. Or is this some kind of fairytale, Gothic romance? Most certainly. It’s all up for contention. But let’s leave the matter of the accompanying imagery behind for a moment, and meet […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Carmody – ‘Skin’
This an exquisite slice of alt-pop from London based singer-songwriter Carmody. With smooth and emotive Aurora-esque vocals leading from the start, the track slowly builds as the ludicrously on point production spirals around the melodic centre point.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Westerman – ‘Jericho’
It is difficult to pin down exactly what it is that gives Westerman that distinctive haunting sound, but there are qualities to his music which are bewitching and enchanting unlike anything else. Just as you’d expect, his latest release ‘Jericho’ is enchanting, prophetic and divine.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Yellow Days – ‘Little Palace’
Yellow Days defies convention. His compositions drift in and out of formal structures, rather choosing to feel their way, through the yelp’s and calm’s of his disarming vocal call. It’s indie at its most immersive and inventive best, with a soulful twist and the sway of free-form. Not often do we come across such ambition […]
LIVE REVIEW: Braille Showcase at Islington Mill, Salford
We encounter a great deal of pop music in our day to day lives. Radio, YouTube, Spotify and TV ads, which bombard us with the sight of delicious food whilst Clean Bandit softly whirl in the background. However, rarely do we get to experience pop music at its absolute freshest, its rawest, and arguably at […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Inevitable Daydream – ‘Gunblade’
London-via-Kent upstarts Inevitable Daydream are making a name for themselves. Already revered in their hometown of Maidstone, the band since re-locating to London have set their sights further afield. And if their latest track is anything to go by, the revolution is imminent. The bloody and charred remains of gnarled refrains and violent feedback make for a […]
